Only Park Jimin could casually hit “like” on a dance cover and instantly turn the entire internet into a puddle of happy tears.
Here’s what happened: Koki, a young dancer and rising star, posted a dance cover of Jimin’s “Like Crazy” and IVE’s “Killin’ It” mashup on Instagram, showcasing the kind of sharp, clean moves that would make any dance mentor proud. But what made this even better? Jimin himself saw it. And he didn’t just scroll past with a smile—he liked it.
That’s it. That’s the post. And yet, it’s everything.
Fans immediately noticed Jimin’s like and flooded Koki’s post with comments, celebrating how the young dancer got the recognition he deserved from the Jimin of BTS. And Koki? He posted a heartfelt thank-you message, expressing how much it meant to him that Jimin noticed his dancing, calling it a “huge motivation” and sharing how he wants to continue bringing joy to little children through dance.
Imagine being a young dancer, working hard, practicing for hours, putting your passion out into the world—and then the artist who inspired you takes a moment from his day to acknowledge you. That’s the kind of memory that shapes futures and boosts confidence in ways no trophy ever could.
This is the Jimin effect. This is BTS’s effect. They see their fans, they see young artists, and they take the time to encourage them, even in the smallest interactions. It’s why ARMYs are so fiercely loyal. Because behind the stadiums, the awards, and the record-breaking numbers, these are artists who care, who give back love, who understand the power of encouragement.
Fans shared how moments like these remind them why they admire Jimin—not just for his ethereal stage presence or his insane dance lines, but for his kindness and humility, for remembering what it feels like to be young and chasing dreams.
And let’s be real: Jimin didn’t have to like the post. He didn’t have to do anything. But he did, because that’s who he is—someone who uses his influence to uplift others, even with something as simple as a like on Instagram.
So here’s to Jimin, for making a young dancer’s day, for reminding us that kindness can be quiet yet powerful, and for continuing to inspire a new generation of artists who will carry his influence with them long after the music stops.
And here’s to Koki, for killing it on that cover, for dancing with passion, and for reminding us all to keep going after what we love, because you never know when your hero is watching.
